Games Finished October 2021

Three for me on October:

* Star Wars: Jedi: Fallen Order. Great game, especially in terms of production quality. I didn't like the difficulty spikes, and not all of it is evenly balanced in terms of story / pacing / having fun being a Jedi. But still a really, really solid game. Not sure if it's better than a third playthrough (which means you're super powerful) of Star Wars: the Force Unleashed, but it's really, really close between the two of them.

* Halo 5: Guardians
Holding it to the standards of a flagship title, I find Halo 5 uninspired. The single player campaign felt more like a Call of Duty-ish Halo, than like what Halo is supposed to be for me. Technically it's not convincing, the story line is weak. Glad I got this out of the way before Halo: Infinite.

* Assetto Corsa Competizione
I had a racing wheel, played with it for a few hours, and was still several seconds off the pace I can set with a gamepad. Practice makes perfect, but I have found out that I'm not willing to put that time into it. So I sold the racing wheel, and finished ACC's campaign with a gamepad. I had fun, so this was the right choice to make. Plus, now I know that I don't need a racing wheel in my life.

This was a good month for getting games off the backlog.

I loved that game. It just appeared on Game Pass so if you have that you can give it a try. Very story driven with a bit of mid to late game light combat. I was engaged in it enough to complete all four endings. Conversation heavy but they make it easy to follow and add shortcuts so each loop isn't a tedious rehash of all the things. I highly recommend trying it at the very least.

Thanks, will check out.

List Updated!


Also, I think someone asked in another thread, what happened to Taturana? He completely vanished this year. Hope all is well with him.

I'll be checking it out too. Gamepass are doing another 3 months for £1 so I'll be playing a few things there over the winter.
